mbar LIVE: Spring session 2

Rap / Hip Hop

SHOWTIME MOVED TO 23:30, DON'T MISS IT!
The saturday night of Spring Sessions lingers more on the hip hop side of urban music. Live set by Gracias, probably the most interesting artist ever to rap in English in Finland. The dj sets of the evening present the odd couple of Marked Man from TV OFF and Markus-Setä. You may not want to miss this one!

Gracias is one of the most proficient Finnish rappers to perform in English mixing together styles from his hometown Helsinki and east coast US hip hop. Gracias made his debut in 2007 as Luminate with the mixtape Listenin Comprehension. After laying Luminate to rest, Gracias resurfaced again in 2010 with ”HKI”, putting out two albums, Gracias EP and The Globe in 2012.

Dj's for the evening are Marked Man and Markus-Setä. Marked Man, the producer extraordinaire from the electro pop duo TV OFF, and also known for his work with Top Billin, can be found behind the mixdown of several Finnish hip hop acts, from Karri Koira to Noah Kin. Markus-Setä, the wide ranged music man makes a rare switch to hip hop terrain for the night.
